I received a blank looking envelope with my name and address only, no return and the postmark was from Canada I believe. Inside I found the check with the assignments of testing western union and money gram money wiring services with the reward of easy money for about a days work. Also, I was given a third assignment to shop Walmart with a $100 and keep the goods. Even better!! Just send back the receipts and some paper work. Easy enough, until the check is found to be fraudulent. Joe Brown with his original name and suspect accent are also fraudulent. I called State Bank in Boston, the bank name on the check, and they informed me that they are aware of what is taking place. I called Katie Smith to inform that the gig is up and I would be reporting her and the scam to whoever will listen. She immediately hung up on me. I have tried to reach homestead financial to let them know because it seems that they are a legitimate mortgage company. Anyway, beware and pass this along to whomever, wherever. Fort Collins Colorado
